The countdown is on until Steven Gerrard leaves Liverpool for LA Galaxy and the Reds captain will need a suitably stylish home to begin his new life with wife Alex and their three daughters.

One of the most sought after areas he could consider is Beverly Hills, which is where David and Victoria Beckham lived during his time at the club.

Becks reportedly splashed out $22m (£14.5m) on a luxury villa with outdoor pool, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

Along with its neighbours Bel Air and Holmby Hills, Beverly Hills forms the ‘Platinum Triangle’ - considered to boast the most expensive residential and commercial real estate in the US.

Real estate agent Robert L. Garner, of Robert L.Garner and Associates, explained why the location remains so attractive to the rich and famous. “Beverly Hills is the most sought after real estate in the U.S. It would be a perfect fit for Gerrard and his family.

“There is a large international presence in the community and it is very diversified. Having star studded celebrities, professional athletes and international business tycoons as your neighbors establishes it as the place to live.

The school system is top notch and the best private schools in the city are all within a stones throw of Beverly Hills. From the world class shopping to the best restaurants in the city Gerrard would not be disappointed.”

Here we take a look at some of the most glamorous properties Robert L. Garner and Associates have on its books - could one of these be the Gerrards’ new home?
